Backstage at Robert Geller FW 2010.

The attention of aficionados may have just been diverted to London (and rightly so, this season should prove to be another sizeable step for London-based menswear), I'm still fawning over some of what went down in New York. Robert Geller, one of NY's triumvirate of finest fashion-makers for men (along with Patrik Ervell and Phillip Lim), produced another stand-out collection.

Mixing ostentatious, statement-making fur stoles, the archetypal dandy pattern of pinstripe and a palette of Fall/Winter-appropriate but far from lacklustre colours, Geller further refined his vision of modern menswear while still borrowing heavily from the tradition of the simultaneously outré and understated.

Still, I could be seeing it all through the rose-tined (or, more accurately, monochrome) lens of photographer Zachary Bako who documented the backstage madness from the outset, rendering a much more artful and poignant version of the prep-mayhem. I may not have made it across the pond but this photo-doc makes the fact that bit more bearable.
